Canada faces challenges with low birth rates and an aging population, but it also shows low unemployment and high economic growth, indicating a critical need for more labor. Thus, the country is prepared to welcome more immigrants. The absolute number of new permanent residents is expected to increase steadily. The immigration program now offers more opportunities to those with skills in demand in Canada and those wishing to reside in regions needing population influx, lowering barriers for eligible individuals.
Individuals residing abroad who meet the eligibility criteria can apply for Canadian immigration. This includes various programs like Express Entry Skilled Worker (FSW) or Federal Trade Skill (FTS), and Self-employed immigration. Many people receive permanent residency approval before entering Canada, thus beginning their life there with a secure status.
Each Canadian province differs in environment, developed industries, and employment culture. Therefore, the choice of region is highly personal. Before preparing for immigration, it's recommended to consider factors such as local weather, living conditions, educational opportunities, and industrial structure to find a suitable location.
The general processing time is around 6 months, with the current approval period for Express Entry marked as 5 months as of September 2023. However, this can vary, so it's recommended to check the latest processing times on the Canadian immigration website when applying.
The processing time varies depending on whether the program is linked with Express Entry or not. As of September 2023, it's 9 months for linked programs and 17 months for others. This can extend to 10 or 18 months or longer, depending on the situation.
